The game runs well on my tablet currently ... I just need to run on lower graphics settings. The new universal apps also opens doors for running native windows store apps on IOS and android (with small modification). So they might be opening up a long term plan for those devices too.
If Cryptic gave beans about IOS, they wouldn't have shutdown the Mac client. Presumably this version is for the non-desktop incarnation of Windows 10, since the existing game runs just fine on it though Arc. This is not a game you're going to be running on a phone.
With what little info was given, it's then easy to assume this will be an additional way to install Neverwinter on the PC.
If that's true, you've just shown the entire gaming industry what's wrong with PWE/Cryptic and why people should not bother with their games. They spend the majority of the past 2 years trying to bring everything to a unified platform called ARC, spending Ao knows how much money on QA, design and remodeling their launchers to force people to use that piece of bloatware and what do they do? They create an installer that doesn't require ARC? No wonder they don't have the funds to proper maintain this game...
Even if it does require ARC, there will be 0 difference for people. The game won't run better because of it. It's just a waste of time, effort and money on advertising nothing worth mentioning or important. It's not like the ARC installer advertised on every page on this domain will go away all of a sudden. And nobody even uses that windows store unless they have no alternative. It's no better than ARC in too many ways to count.
If that's how you really feel, than it begs the question: Why are you here?
Just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 64bit since the free deadline is getting close. Hopefully Neverwinter will be released in 64bit and DX12. Waiting patiently.
